I didn't realize that there was a top pull front derailer for road shifters.

If you're OK with bar ends then the answer is definitely yes. Otherwise, I think you can do it reasonably with STI if it's the case that there are STI shifters with the correct amount of (brake) cable pull for the disc brakes.

it seems drop bar will make your life harder on the "frequent flying" part.
but yes, i think someone done it before on montague. also in this forum there is someone who modified his hummer with drop bars. i believe his username was Raxel

You can obtain drop bar bar ends and keep all your original brakes, shifters etc. You can take them off in seconds with an Allen wrench since they have no components on them. Paul Brathwaite in the Swift thread explains this although the thread is very long and you may have to look for a while. Certaqinly the cheapest and simplest way to go unless you have all the drop bar parts already.

Origin8 Drop Bars have been popular for years for adding drops to flatbars..very simple install..

well the issues with drop bar ends I see are that you have no access to the controls in the drops and if you like positioning your hands on the hoods you are kinda SOL assuming you are keeping all the original components. on a positive note you could get a set of Origin8 Stash Bar IIs with your drop bar ends and it would work out to almost exactly the same size as a normal set of 42cm drops but they would break down nice for travel although those bars do get crowded with levers and shifters installed. The flat bars standard to the bike probably would have to be cut down quite a bit to get a decent width for drops.
